Radio Happy Hour with Tapes 'n Tapes, Chris Koza and Geoff Herbach
A fixture at hip New York City club Le Poisson Rouge, and now making a special appearance at The Cedar, Radio Happy Hour is a live variety show featuring an old-time radio comedy/drama and your favorite guest stars from the worlds of film, music, and letters. Hosted by Sam Osterhout, the show engages its guests in a wildly right-angled conversation that careens between interviews, performances, and trivia. And at the center of it all is a short, old time radio comedy in which the guest stars as him or herself or, in some cases, as Nancy Drew. Audiences will see all of this--the interviews, the corny jokes, the guest performances, and the behind-the-scenes making of a radio drama--live every month, and podcasted online as well. Trust us, it will make more sense when you see it.
“Created by Sam Osterhout (co-founder of the Minneapolis-based radio sitcom Electric Arc Radio Show), this monthly hour of conversation recklessly, if lovingly, careens between the fine lines of interview, performance and questions from the audience — anchored by an old-time radio drama/comedy in which the special guest appears as him or herself.” -THE VILLAGER 6/2/09
“Radio Happy Hour is part fiction, part play, and part concert. What’s not to love?” -NYLON GUYS MAGAZINE January 2010
“Radio Happy Hour is a monthly variety show dedicated to off-kilter conversations with writers and musicians, in an environment that encourages daytime drinking and slurred questions from enthusiastic audience members. Host Sam Osterhout knows how to keep things casual, even when the stakes are high.” -ONION A/V CLUB 11/5/09
